广东省2024-2025学年高三上学期开学摸底联考英语试题一、阅读理解Below are stories of kids who saw a need in the world and set out to fix it. Hearing the stories will inspire generosity and charity in your own kids.Janine Licare and Aislin Livingstone — Kids Saving the Rainforest: Janine and Aislin were 9 when they saw the rainforest disappearing in Costa Rica. Being dissatisfied with how their donations were being spent with other rainforest charities, they began their own organization—Kids Saving the Rainforest.Austin Gutwein — Hoops of Hope: At 10, Austin watched a video of children who had lost their parents due to AIDS. Austin decided to organize a charity called Hoops of Hope. Through sponsorships, participants have raised over $2.5 million to provide those kids access to food, clothing and shelter. However, Hoops of Hope is now closed.Mackenzie Bearup — Sheltering Books: Mackenzie was 13 when she began collecting children’s books for shelters in and around Alpharetta, Georgia. It soon became a family project with her 2 brothers working alongside her. In total, they have collected and donated over 360,000 books for shelters across the world.Annie Wignall — Care Bags 4 Kids: At 11, Annie began the Care Bags 4 Kids when she discovered there were many kids in crisis situations who had to leave their homes. Annie’s organization creates and distributes fabric care bags filled with essential and comforting items for needy children.1．Which charity is concerned about environment protection?A．Hoops of Hope.B．Sheltering Books.C．Care Bags 4 Kids.D．Kids Saving the Rainforest.2．What is special about Austin Gutwein’s charity organization?A．It is inaccessible now.B．It is in the charge of kids.C．It has collected millions of books.D．It offers help to needy children.3．Who might be the intended readers of the text?A．Students.B．Parents.C．Donors.D．Teachers.“I never could have imagined this is how my life could turn out,” says Melody Mnisi. “Now it’s my dream to introduce young people to nature and to inspire young African women like me to believe anything is possible.” Melody is a 23-year-old South African and has just qualified as a field guide. Despite growing up very close to Kruger National Park, a world-famous safari (游猎) destination, she never had the chance to see or enjoy its wildlife. “This was something for white people, not poor black people like me,” she says. “I always wondered what was on the other side of the fence.” But everything changed for Melody when she completed a Wild Shots Outreach (WSO) photography course, learning how to use a camera and going on her first-ever game drive. “I could not believe my eyes, seeing all this wildlife and capturing my memories and stories,” she says. “It is such an honor to be in nature.”WSO is the educational outreach arm of Wild Shots, a photography conference in Africa that ran for nine years prior to 2020. Its aim is to engage disadvantaged young Africans in wildlife conservation through photography and by providing an introduction to the natural world, helping to nurture (培育) the conservationists of tomorrow.The initiative came about in 2015 and was the passion project of Mike Kendrick, a life-science teacher and photographer. Moving to the Greater Kruger area to live in the bush, Mike was discouraged to see the lack of engagement between young South Africans and their natural environment. Not only that, in six years of helping to run Wild Shots, he did not come across a single wildlife, landscape or outdoor photographer of color in South Africa.4．What can we learn about Melody Mnisi?A．She helped set up WSO.B．She was born a photographer.C．She was grateful to be a field guide.D．She shared photos of wildlife online. 5．What has changed Melody’s life?A．WSO photography course.B．Her willingness to help others.C．Mike Kendrick’s encouragement.D．Her curiosity about the safari destination.6．Which is among the reasons why WSO is held?A．To raise money.B．To prevent illegal hunting.C．To stop wildlife trade.D．To nurture wildlife protectors.7．What might be talked about following the last paragraph?A．Comments from Melody.B．The promotion of WSO.C．Poor life of South Africans.D．The details of photographs taking,For many people, the cruelest part of daily life is the transition between wakefulness and sleep. When you should be sleeping, you want to be awake; when you should be awake, you want to stay asleep. It is easy to regard sleep as a torment: hard to attain and then hard to give up, day after day.It is no major revelation to most people that enough sleep improves well-being. One recent study of more than 30,000 UK residents found that people who increased their quantity of sleep over a four-year period got about the same happiness benefits as they would have from eight weeks of treatment, or from winning up to $280,000 in a lottery. Well-rested people are more social and have more positive emotional experiences with co-workers and romantic partners. Sleep loss, however, lowers happiness by degrading emotional-memory recall and encouraging a negative mindset, which results in depressive working atmosphere and poor interpersonal relationship.If all of this seems obvious, why don’t we sleep more? Physical conditions, poor sleep habits, work, stress, and young kids are all common barriers to proper sleep. However, another barrier comes purely from within, when we simply put off going to bed because we are doing other things that seem more important at night, but that we regret when it’s time to get up. It is what scholars call “bedtime procrastination (拖延)”. Bedtime procrastination seems illogical, but the explanation is fairly straightforward. It happens when a person bears some deep resistance to being “told” what to do, especially in an area as personal and fundamental as when to go to bed. It is likely because she hates being told what to do in other parts of her life, and she fights back by fully using her own authority and staying up.8．What does the underlined word “torment” in paragraph I mean?A．Enjoyment.B．Suffering.C．Entertainment.D．Exercise.9．How is the second paragraph developed?A．By using quotes.B．By giving a definition.C．By making a comparison.D．By providing explanations.10．What may cause bedtime procrastination?A．A crying baby.B．Pressure from work.C．Drinking too much coffee.D．Unwillingness to follow routines.11．Which column of a news website may the text be taken from?A．Health.B．Education.C．Technology.D．Economy.We used to write with a pen. Now we generally write on a computer with the help of keyboard. In this digital age, artificial intelligence has become a new type of “pen” which we use to analyze, write and present everything from an article, a thesis, a research paper to a company report, and things alike.Since writing is an essential part of academic life, and since students struggle to produce quality papers, AI powered writing is gaining popularity on campuses. AI is so powerful that it can help with idea development, research design, content development, literature review, data management, as well as help with editing and reviewing of books. AI-powered writing can improve the grammar, structure, and help with citation s and consistency to disciplinary standards. Therefore, AI tools can help students, teachers and researchers to overcome the challenges of academic writing, boost research productivity and improve efficiency.However, AI may seem human, but it is not. It may appear accurate, yet it isn’t. It may look intelligent, yet it is not. It may also seem to understand, but it can’t. An analysis done with the help of AI tools with seemingly high efficiency can be neither valid (有效的) nor reliable. Although AI can help write a seemingly nicely structured, grammatically correct and even precisely referenced paper, its research results can’t be accepted as authentic (真实的), because they cannot fully meet the real purpose of research or education as a whole.That is why many universities have been keeping students from using AI tools for academic writing, and have conducted rules limiting, if not altogether banning the use of Generative AI inacademic writing. According to a survey of the world’s 100 top universities by Scriber on their attitude to AI writing tools, 18 percent have banned the use of ChatGPT, although individual instructors could allow its use, 27 percent have no clear guidance or policy, and 51 percent have left the decision on individual instructors. Only 4 percent of the universities allow the use of AI (with citation) unless instructors forbid it.12．What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about?A．The importance of academic writing.B．The potential users of AI-powered writing.C．The challenges faced by researchers and scholars.D．The popularity of AI-powered writing on campuses.13．What may be the author’s attitude towards a research report written by AI?A．Negative.B．Dismissive.C．Positive.D．Unclear. 14．Who have the right to decide the use of Al in academic writing in most universities?A．Fund sponsors.B．Individual instructors.C．Would-be graduates.D．Producers of AI tools.15．Which idiom can best describe AI-powered writing?A．A wet blanket.B．A pie in the sky.C．A double-edged sword.D．A big fish in a small pond.Protecting the environment is not a new concept, but have you ever taken actions that are beneficial to our planet? With World Environment Day annually observed on June 5, the editor has recommended some environmentally friendly products. 16Tea seed powderTea seed powder is purely natural and does not contribute to water pollution. 17 After extracting (提取) eatable tea oil from the seeds, the remaining is ground into powder. Rich in natural tea saponin, tea seed powder effectively removes all kinds of stains, and dirt on fruits and vegetables. It is gentle on the hands and easy to clean. 18Biodegradable paper tapeWith the rise of online shopping, parcels are secured with plastic tapes, which are not biodegradable. They may cause problems in the recycling process, leading to operational issuesand reducing recycling efficiency. Fortunately, biodegradable paper tapes offer an eco-friendly alternative for packaging needs. 19 This ensures natural degradation over time without releasing environmental pollutants. Additionally, unlike most conventional tape, it can also be recycled, ensuring that it can contribute to circular production and keep it away from our landfills and oceans.Bamboo toothbrushBrushing teeth is an essential part of your daily oral care and mostly the brushes are plastic.20 They stay for centuries, turning our landfills and oceans into a never-ending plastic party. Switching to a bamboo toothbrush is an environmentally conscious choice that helps reduce plastic pollution and waste in our oceans.A．Using it is a way to save money.B．It is extracted from the seeds of oil tea trees.C．Therefore, it’s an eco-friendly cleaning option.D．The sad truth is that they never truly break down.E．They are made from plant-based material such as paper.F．It provides a reusable and eco-friendly way to store food.G．They can help you protect the earth in your daily life effortlessly.二、完形填空Raised in a family of artists, the 24-year-old Russían woman Aleksandra developed a deep love for painting from an early age.

To ensure the safety of PayQuick.B. To stress the importance of PayQuick.C. To popularize the use of PayQuick.D. To illustrate the application of PayQuick.Tonight, our family was going out to play under the full moon.My husband Todd and I first started going on full moon walks for ourselves, as we needed these little doses of moonlight to stay happy, though sometimes we had to hikechildren. We wanted to show Sierra and Bryce that it was not necessary to travel far from home to have an adventure and learn something new, and that there was much magic in the natural world, available to all.Once we arrived at our location, Sierra and I stood holding hands, waiting to cheer the full moon in its rising—a thin sliver of the appealing moon emerged above the ridge of the mountain afar. Soon, more of the moon came out until it turned into a brilliant orange sphere. Todd explained to Sierra and Bryce that the moon generates no light, but simply acts like a mirror, reflecting the sunlight back to us. “Does the moon’s face change?” Bryce asked. I told him that the moon rotates (旋转) around the earth, but does not spin by itself, so the same side of the moon is always facing the earth. Sierra remarked that the moon looked larger and closer when it was rising. I explained that it is a visual illusion (错觉) because it is so close to the horizon that the moon magically tricks our eyes into comparing it with nearby objects, thus creating the impression of the increased size.Much of the knowledge that I shared with the kids was learned from my parents. During my childhood, they would take me on educational adventures out in the woods, and as I later found, so did their parents. So every time I go for a full moon walk with my beloved family, I thank those wise educators who came before me.To educate, sometimes all it takes is going outdoors and gazing up at the heavens. 4．What does the und erlined word “this” in paragraph 2 refer to?A. Going on a hike through the forest.B. Taking a walk under the full moon.C. Watching magic shows every month.D. Traveling far from home for adventure.5．What can we learn from their family outing?A. The kids were reluctant to participate.B. Todd mentioned the mirror to explain sunlight.C. The kids exhibited a spirit of exploration about the moon.D. The author used a magic trick to explain the larger moon.6．Which of the following best describes the parents?A. Creative and faithful.B. Selfless and brave.C. Inspiring and generous.D. Insightful and patient.7．What does the story convey to the readers?A. Life is what you make it.B. Every cloud has a silver lining.C. Nature is the best teacher.D. God helps those who help themselves.As humanity has got richer, animal’s roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine (内燃机) made horses unneeded; modern sanitation (卫生设备) kept rats in check and made cats less useful. Domestic animals are no longer necessities, but commonly seen companions. Pet-keeping seems to become more and more popular, as a recent survey found that 69% of American households keep at least one pet.The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more money on them. No longer are they food-waste-recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters’ tables. Pet food shelv es are full of cuisines tailored to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic, or suffer from sensitive digestion.In the business, this is called “pet humanization” — the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family. This is obvious in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex, and Spot to Bella, Lucy, and Max.People still hold the false assumption that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. New research suggests that dogs have evolved those “cute eyes” to affect human emotions and control them, which works very well. Humans now work very hard to pay for the care of theirpets. For example, Americans often refer to themselves not as cat owners but as the cat’s “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one step further, describing themselves as cat “butlers (管家)”. Watch an unlucky man walking his dog, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and we have to doubt: who’s in charge now? Is this relationship what we really want? 8．What can we learn about the animal-keeping trend?A. People’s needs for animal services are increasing.B. The price for purchasing a domestic pet is on the rise.C. Pet foods are less various and customized than before.D. Both the pet number and the pet business are growing.9．Which of the following is the evidence of “pet humanization”？A. Pets’ ability to make their owners less anxious.B. Human’s increasing investment in pet-keeping.C. Pet’s roles as both working staff and companions.D. The owners’ preference to give pets human names.10．What is the author’s attitude towards the current human-pet relationship?A. Skeptical.B. Conservative.C. Unclear.D. Approving.11．Which might be the best title of the passage?A. The Changing Roles of PetsB. The Growing Trend of Pet BusinessC. The Craze for Pet-keepingD. The Pros and Cons of Keeping PetsHibernation (冬眠) is a classic topic of science fiction. In movies such as 2001: A Space Odyssey, Alien, or Passengers, crew members are put into a state of sleep to take year-long journeys to space. Now a new study from Washington University has shown that human hibernation may soon become a reality.The research team carried out tests on rats —animals that do not naturally hibernate. They first identified a group of neurons (神经元) in a deep brain region, which were found to be involved in controlling body temperature during hibernation. They showed that, in mice, these neurons could be stimulated using ultrasound (超声波), which was delivered through a helmet without causing an injury.When receiving the ultrasound, the mice showed a drop in body temperature of about3°C, and their heart rates fell by about 47%. When the ultrasound system was switched off, they woke up again. The result was “surprising and fascinating”, said Hong Chen, a professor wholed the work.humans. They believe that it could be key to addressing health conditions like heart disease, and Alzheimer’s. Furthermore, hibernation’s ability to slow aging, which was observed in bats, could benefit space exploration, enabling longer missions with less food requirements. Research in animals also suggests that bodies of hibernating astronauts might lose less bone and muscle, making them fit and ready to start challenging exploration soon after they wake up.By unlocking the secrets of this remarkable process, researchers may uncover ways to improve human health, as well as gain new insights into the natural world. Therefore, the exploration of hibernation is an exciting area that is sure to yield numerous benefits in the years to come.The scientists now plan to look at how lowered body temperature might affect the cognitive abilities of humans. “Our next experiments will test working memory in monkeys. This is important because while astronauts physically hibernate as they fly into deep space, their brain still needs to be working,” said Chen.12．How did researchers put rats into hibernation?A. By lowering their body temperature.B. By activating specific brain neurons.C. By putting a regular helmet on them.D. By using ultrasound through an operation.13．What does the underlined word “harness” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Employ.B. Challenge.C. Overlook.D. Discover.14．What advantage might hibernation bring to humans?A. It improves people’s mental health.B. It predicts a variety of heart diseases.C. It helps astronauts keep physically fit.D. It enables astronauts to build up muscle.15．What’s the purpose of the last paragraph?A. To point out the significance of the study.B. To bring out the focus of follow-up studies.C. To discuss other factors affecting hibernation.D. To explain practical applications of the finding.二、七选五16．Make a difference at schoolBesides being a great place to learn, school offers a great opportunity to make friends, try new things, and give back to others.

Sitting at the piano, I couldn’t help recalling many 49 -- times of my practising at home and playing before my teacher and one time my teacher50 me after I played entire pieces of music wrong in front of her colleagues. I was so 51 that I could hardly say anything. But her 52 helped ease my shame. These memories, 53 , good or bad, never caused my 54 for playing the piano again.This thought then led me to think that 55 is like music, and that we all try to play different 56 in the instrument of our life. Sometimes the pitch(音高) is 57 when we play it well, but sometimes we are out of tone. However, we all continue to create our own 58 style of music.

心尺引州丑巴孔市中潭学校高三英语限时练习四完形填空〔时间：10分钟〕One topic is rarely mentioned in all the talk of improving standards in our schools: the almost complete failure of foreign-language teaching. As a French graduate who has taught for more than twenty-five years, I believe I have some idea of why the failure is so total. 21 the faults already found out in the education system as a whole — such as child-centred learning, the “discovery〞 method, and the low expectations by teachers of pupils — there have been several serious 22 which have a direct effect on language teaching.The first is the removal from the curriculum(课程) of the thorough teaching of English 23 . Pupils now do not know a verb from a noun, the subject of a sentence from its object, or the difference between the past, present, or future.Another important error is mixed-ability teaching, or teaching in ability groups so 24 that the most able groups are 25 and are bored while the least able are lost and 26 bored. Strangely enough, few head teachers seem to be in favour of mixed-ability school football teams.Progress depends on memory, and pupils start to forget immediately they stop having 27 lessons. This is why many people who attended French lessons at school, even those who got good grades, have 28 it a few years later. Because they never need it, they do not practice it.Most American schools have accepted what is inevitable and 29 modern languages, even Spanish, from the curriculum. Perhaps it is time for Britain to do the same, and stop 30 resources on a subject which few pupils want or need.21. A. Due to B. In addition to C. Instead of D. In spite of22. A. errors B. situations C. systems D. methods23. A. vocabulary B. culture C. grammar D. literature24. A. wide B. similar C. separate D. unique25. A. kept out B. turned down C. held back D. left behind26. A. surprisingly B. individually C. equally D. hardly27. A. extra B. traditional C. basic D. regular28. A. needed B. forgotten C. practised D. left29. A. restored B. absorbed C. prohibited D. withdrawn30. A. wasting B. focusing C. exploiting D. sharing语法填空〔时间：10分钟〕The word “pub〞is the short form for “ public house〞in Great Britain. It 31 (suppose) to be the Englishmen’s favourite meeting place, 32 they can get together with friends over a pin of beer and talk about football, horse racing 33 business. Pubs are usually open from 11 a.m. to midnight.You may notice that the pub is the Englishmen’s meeting place. It is not quite respectablefor 34 woman to go into a pub alone. She must have a man go with 35 . Perhaps that’s partly the reason 36 pubs depress me---they are intended 37 (main) to provide for make interests.Most Englishmen have 38 favourite local, where they can escape 39 the pressuresof family life or work, and if they are lucky, they can tell their troubles to a pretty bar-girl. Indeed many men dream of retiring from their 9 to 5 jobs and 40 (buy) a little country pub, where they imagine they will be the host of a seven night a week party.阅读理解〔时间：20分钟〕ALast year, a report by a committee of education experts said that a lot of American students cannot write well. The report noted the concerns of business leaders and teachers. The expertssaid that more students should have to pass a writing test before they can finish high school. They pointed out that major college entrance tests are changing now to include a writing part. Educators know that teaching students to write well is not easy. One problem is the amount of time needed to read through large amounts of work. So some companies have developed computer programs. These can grade students writing more quickly than a person can. Writing tests can also cost less to carry out by computer than paper-and-pencil. These computer systems are known as e-readers. They use artificial intelligence to think in a way like teachers. In the State of Indiana, computer grading of a statewide writing test began with a test of the system itself. For two years, both a computer and humans graded the student writing. Officials say there was almost no difference between the computer grades and those given by the human readers.The entrance test commonly used by business schools, the GMAT, already uses e-readers. The GRE and TOEFL tests might start; officials are deciding. The GRE is the Graduate Record Examination. TOEFL is the Test of English as a Foreign Language.Systems are also being used to grade writing in college classes. The computers read a few hundred examples of student writing already graded by humans. Then the systems compare new writing against those already examined.How do teachers feel all about this? Many say machines can never do the job as well as people can. A computer can find spelling and grammar mistakes. But these teachers say it can never really understand what a writer is trying to say. Critics say a program cannot follow a thought or judge humor or understand a beautifully expressed idea.But inventors of the programs say computer grading guarantees that each piece of writing is graded in the same way. They also say the systems are meant to judge knowledge more than creativity.41. From the first paragraph we can conclude that _________.A. American students’ writing ability is being improvedB. American students’ writing ability is not satisfactoryC. business leaders and teachers are not worried about American students’ writingD. all college entrance tests will include a writing part42. What do the teachers think of the computer system?A. They think highly of the computer systems.B. They think that computers cannot grade writing as well as people.C. They believe that computers can understand a writer’s idea well.D. They are glad computers will spare their effort to correct student’s school work43. Which of the following is NOT the advantage of e-readers?A. Saving much of teachers’ timeB. Saving a lot of money.C. Being fair and objectiveD. Appreciating humor and beauty44. According to the passage, which of the following tests has been graded by using the computer systems?A. the GMATB. The GREC. the TOEFLD. all of the above45. The best title of this passage might be _____.A. Computer-graded WritingB. Human-graded WritingC. How to Improve Students’ WritingD. Advantages of E-readers.BGene technology to benefit peopleAmong all the fast growing science and technology, the research of human genes, or biologicalengineering as people call it, is drawing more and more attention now. Sometimes it is a hot topic discussed by people.The greatest thing that gene technology can do is to cure serious diseases that doctors at present can almost do nothing with, such as cancer and heart disease. Every year, millions of people are murdered by these two killers. And to date, doctors have not found an effective way to cure them. But if the gene technology is applied, not only these two diseases can be cured completely, bringing happiness and more living days to the patients, but also the great amount of money people spend on curing their diseases can be saved, therefore it benefits the economy as well. In addition, human life span(寿命) can be prolonged.Gene technology can help people to give birth to more healthy and clever children. Some families, with the English imperial family being a good example, have hereditary diseases. This means their children will for sure have the family disease, which is a great trouble for these families. In the past, doctors could do nothing about hereditary diseases. But gene technology can solve this problem perfectly. The scientist just need to find the wrong gene and correct it, and a healthy child will be born.Some people are worrying that the gene research can be used to manufacture human beings in large quantities. In the past few years, scientists have succeeded in cloning a sheep, therefore these people predict that human babies would soon be cloned. But I believe cloned babies will not come out in large quantities, for most couples in the world can have babies in very normal way. Of course, the governments must take care to control gene technology.46. What does “these two killers〞 in the second paragraph refer to ?A gene technology and another treatment of the two diseases.B. The two murderers who killed the cloned babyC. The two diseases of cancer and heart diseaseD. Hereditary diseases and cancer47. What’s the main idea of the third paragraph?A. How gene technology can be applied in the field of treating hereditary diseases.B. Gene technology can be used to clone human babies.C. Gene technology can help people to give birth of a baby.D. Gene technology can help the English imperial family out48. In what way gene technology can help to treat hereditary diseases?A. Using gene technology, people with hereditary diseases can have more living days.B. Using gene technology, scientist finds the wrong gene and corrects it.C. Using gene technology, human babies can be cloned.D. Doctors can cure cancer and heart disease with the help of gene technology.49. What is the main purpose of writing this passage?A. Expressing the writer’s idea that gene technology will benefit peopleB. Telling people the advantages of gene technologyC. Telling the readers that gene technology will not benefit peopleD. Explaining that gene technology will also do harm to the humanity50. Which of the following worries people by using this technology?A. Scientists have already successfully cloned sheep.B. Most couple will normally give birth to babies.C. A good number of babies will be clonedD. The government will take action to control it.CA peer is a person who is about the same age as you. Peers affect your life, whether you know it or not, just by spending time with you.Peers can have a good effect on one another. Maybe another student in your science class taught you an easy way to remember the planets in solar system. Maybe you got others excited about your new favorite book and now everyone’s reading it.However, sometimes peers affect one another in another way. For example, one kid in school might try to get another to cut class with him, your soccer friend might try to persuade you to be mean to another player and never pass her the ball, or a kid in the neighborhood might want you to shoplift with him.Some kids give in to peer pressure because they want to be liked, to fit in, or because they worry that other kids may make fun of them if they don’t go along with the group. Others may go along because they are curious to try something new that others are doing. The idea that “ everyone’s doing it〞 may influence some kids to leave their better judgments or their common senses behind. Peer pressure can be extremely strong and hard to get rid of. Experiments have shown how peer pressure can influence someone to change her/ his mind from what she/ he knows for sure is a correct answer to the incorrect answer——just because everyone else gives the incorrect answer! That holds true for people of any age in peer pressure situations.It can be hard to walk away from peer pressure, but it can be done. Paying attention to your own feelings and beliefs about what is right and wrong can help you know the right thing to do. Inner strength and self- confidence can help you stand firm, walk away and resist doing somethingwhen you know better.51. What is the passage mainly about ?A. Peers have a good effectB. Children give in to peer pressureC. Peer pressure is hard to resistD. Peer pressure52. The underlined word “shoplift〞in Paragraph Three probably means “__________〞.A. do some shoppingB. carry goods for shopsC. steal in shopsD. take the lift upstairs in shops53. The writer will not agree that ____.A. only children change their correct answers to incorrect ones because of peer pressure.B. peers have an effect on one anotherC. Peer pressure can be got rid ofD. Peers will believe in themselves if there are other peers who agree with them54. The writer intends to _________ by writing the passage.A. tell people to follow oth er’s opinionsB. warn people to stay away from their peers.C. tell it is hard to walk away form per pressure.D. persuade people to do the right thing regardless of peer pressure.55. All of the following questions are answered in the passage except ___________.A. What does a peer mean ?B. Why do young people have extremely strong peer pressure?C.

However, it wasn't until her first visit to China that she truly began to appreciate the depth of Chinese culture. One particular experience stood out: her first encounter with the art of Chinese tea.Lily had grown up with the aroma of tea wafting through her home, a legacy of her mother's Chinese roots. Yet, it was in the ancient teahouses of Hangzhou that she discovered the soul of Chinese tea culture. There, amidst the gentle rustle of bamboo and the soft murmur of conversation, she observed the ritualistic preparation of tea, a process as natural as the flow of the streams she had once explored in the English countryside.Her mother, a connoisseur of Chinese teas, introduced Lily to the subtleties of tasting. Why do certain leaves unfurl to reveal hidden flavors? Which infusions can evoke the essence of a mountain mist or a summer breeze? With each sip, Lily felt a connection to her ancestral home, a bond that transcended language and tradition.The journey of tea from leaf to cup became a metaphor for Lily's own journey of self-discovery. She decided to embark on a quest to understand the art of tea, to learn how the Chinese have cultivated and cherished this ancient beverage for centuries. She would later refer to this pursuit as her "cultural eco-journey."The task Lily set for herself was to immerse herself in the tea culture, to experience firsthand the process from tea picking to brewing. First, she visited the lush tea gardens of Longjing, where she learned about the meticulous care required for each leaf. Then she traveled to the workshops where artisans crafted the tea, each step a testament to the harmony between human skill and natural bounty.She was captivated by the results. The tea she tasted was not just a drink; it was a story, a history, and a tradition that had been passed down through generations. Within moments, the flavors unfolded on her palate, a testament to the purity and wisdom of Chinese tea culture.Over time, Lily has delved deeper into the world of tea. She has explored the tea ceremonies of various regions, each with its unique customs and significance. She also discovered the therapeutic properties of tea, how it has been used in traditional Chinese medicine to promote health andwell-being."Cultural immersion" is what Lily calls her approach to understanding her heritage. "The world is a treasure trove of experiences for the curious," she says. "You immerse yourself in new cultures and observe the traditions. Then you let these new insights shape your own understanding of the world."4.What can we learn about Lily from the first two paragraphs?A. She was curious about her dual heritage.B. She preferred the British lifestyle.C. She had a deep interest in tea.D. She longed to visit China.5.Why did Lily visit the tea gardens and workshops?A. To learn about the tea-making process.B. To find the perfect cup of tea.C. To understand the cultural significance of tea.D. To test her knowledge of Chinese tea.6.What is the author's purpose in mentioning Longjing?A. To review Lily's cultural journey.B. To show an application of Lily's interest in tea.C. To compare different tea regions in China.D. To dispel doubts about the quality of Chinese tea.7.What is the basis for Lily's cultural exploration?A. The desire to connect with her Chinese roots.B. The belief in the therapeutic properties of tea.C. The fascination with the art of tea preparation.D. The curiosity about the cultural significance of tea.CThe goal of this book is to make the case for Chinese fashion minimalism, including a detailed exploration of what it entails and why it resonates, and then to guide you on how to adopt this aesthetic if you decide it's the right path for you.To achieve this, I have divided the book into two parts. In part one, I delve into the philosophicalunderpinnings of Chinese fashion minimalism, beginning with an examination of the cultural forces that have shaped the traditional Chinese sartorial experience, before moving on to a detailed discussion of the principles of Chinese fashion minimalism.Part one culminates with an introduction to my recommended approach for embracing this aesthetic: the sartorial declutter. This process involves stepping away from non-essential fashion choices for a set period. At the end of this period, you will reintroduce a select few clothing items and accessories that you believe will significantly enhance your personal style and cultural identity.In the final chapter of part one, I will guide you through conducting your own sartorial declutter. I will draw on an experiment I conducted in 2018, where over 1,600 individuals participated in a cultural wardrobe cleanse. You will hear their stories, learn which strategies were effective, and be warned of the pitfalls to avoid.The second part of this book takes a deeper look at concepts that will help you cultivate a sustainable minimalist Chinese fashion lifestyle. In these chapters, I explore the significance of traditional craftsmanship and the importance of nurturing high-quality cultural experiences to replace the time often spent on superficial fashion trends. Each chapter concludes with a set of practices designed to help you implement the chapter's key ideas. Consider these practices as a toolkit to assist you in constructing a minimalist wardrobe that suits your unique cultural context.8.What is the book aimed at?A. Teaching traditional Chinese fashion skills.B. Advocating a minimalist Chinese fashion lifestyle.C. Solving cultural fashion dilemmas.D. Promoting the purchase of traditional Chinese garments.9.What does the underlined word "declutter" in paragraph 3 mean?A. Streamline.B. Accumulate.C. Inventory.D. Dominate.10.What is presented in the final chapter of part one?A. Cultural narratives.B. Quantitative fashion trends.C. Practical wardrobe examples.D. Historical costume analyses.11.What does the author suggest readers do with the practices offered in part two?A. Apply them as needed.B. Share them with the community.C. Assess their cultural impact.D. Recognize the traditional values they represent.DThe film "Catch the Doll" is a poignant and thought-provoking work that, on the surface, delivers the signature humor of the Happy Twist team, but underneath, it presents a cruel allegory that resonates deeply with the audience. Here are my impressions of the movie, articulated in English: "Catch the Doll" is a masterful blend of comedy and tragedy, a film that starts with laughter but ends with a profound reflection on life's ironies. The movie, starring the iconic duo Shen Teng and Ma Li, is akin to a sugar-coated shell that initially offers the sweet taste of humor but gradually reveals the bitter pill of social satire and a probing examination of human nature.The film's narrative is a stark portrayal of the extreme pressures and expectations placed on children by their parents. Shen Teng's character, Ma Chenggang, a wealthy businessman, and his wife,the point of deception and manipulation, to ensure their son's success. Their approach to parenting is chilling, turning the concept of a nurturing home into a prison of expectations and control.The movie cleverly uses exaggeration to highlight the absurdity of such an extreme parenting style. Ma Chenggang's belief in the necessity of hardship for his son's growth is a twisted interpretation of the saying, "Heaven will confer a great responsibility on a person, it will first exercise his mind with suffering, and his sinews and bones with toil.""Catch the Doll" also invites us to consider the broader implications of such behavior. It raises questions about the value of individual freedom and the right of children to have their own dreams and aspirations, rather than being mere tools to fulfill parental ambitions. The film serves as a mirror, reflecting the often-overlooked issues of excessive expectations, out-of-control education, and the disregard for personal value in modern society.In the end, "Catch the Doll" is not just a comedy; it's a social commentary that provokes deep thought and self-reflection. It's a film that, despite its humorous facade, leaves a lasting impact, urging viewers to question the nature of love, control, and the true meaning of success. The movie's ending, which is both happy and tinged with regret, encapsulates the complex emotions that it stirs within us, reminding us that often, we spend our lives trying to heal the wounds of our childhood.12.What is the central theme of the film "Catch the Doll"?A. The importance of parental guidance in children's success.B. The balance between humor and social issues in filmmaking.C. The paradoxical nature of extreme parenting and its impact on children.D. The journey of a child's pursuit of happiness and success.13.In the film, the character Ma Chenggang's parenting style is depicted as:A. Encouraging and supportive of his son's personal aspirations.B. Strict but ultimately beneficial for his son's character development.C. Excessive and potentially damaging to his son's well-being.D. Indifferent and neglectful of his son's emotional needs.14.The film "Catch the Doll" uses the character of Ma Chenggang to:A. Critique the societal pressure on children to succeed academically.B. Advocate for a more lenient approach to parenting.C. Illustrate the potential consequences of extreme parental control.D. Demonstrate the effectiveness of traditional parenting methods.15.The author's tone in discussing the film "Catch the Doll" can be best described as:A. Critical and disapproving of the depicted parenting methods.B. Neutral, simply presenting the film's narrative without bias.C. Admiring and appreciative of the film's social commentary.D. Skeptical, questioning the effectiveness of the film's message.二、阅读七选五：本大题共5小题，共12.5分。

The few who are lucky enough to visit this most mysterious continent do so by ship. To reach Antarctica, ships must pass through an extremely violent area of ocean called the Drake Passage, considered to be the roughest stretch of sea on the planet.Walls of water thirty, sometimes forty feet high continually crashed against our ship for two solid days. We would hold on to a rope inside the ship while being violently tipped(倾斜) to one extreme side, then to the other, and then back again. My daughter Claire and I were as mentally prepared as we could be.About two and a half days after entering the Drake Passage, the waters calmed. Soon, we noticed small black spots on nearby pieces of floating ice. Emperor penguins! Then, we began the two-mile hike over the ice to the penguin colony. Within several hundred yards, small groups of emperors, perhaps ten or so at a time, greeted us, sliding on their bellies and making their wonderful noises, sort of a long, high-pitched sound.One day two adult emperors with their three chicks following them approached Claire, who was resting on the ice. They left the chicks with her, as if she were the babysitter.Twenty minutes later they returned to collect the chicks. And I will never forget the penguin that, when I jokingly asked which way back to the helicopters, pointed a wing in the correct direction. Every night aboard our safe and warm ship, we thought about what it takes to survive in Antarctica, an incredibly harsh place.But each day on the ice, we also thought about the Drake Passage, the impact of thecam e to respect the power of that sea. We still talk about the penguins, as I’m sure we always will. But we talk about the Drake Passage, too. Both experiences were unforgettable,and one would not have been possible without the other.24.Why is the Drake Passage mentioned in the first paragraph?A.The water in the area is usually calm.B. People can see very attractive scenery there.C. A lot of sea animals often appear in the area.D. It is quite a dangerous section ofthe journey.25.What is the theme of the third paragraph?A. The visitors appreciated the penguins.B. The living habits of emperor penguins.C.How penguins made their wonderful noises.D. The appearance and shape of emperor penguins.26.What can we infer from the fourth paragraph?A.Penguins try to avoid human beings.B.Penguins are not afraid of human beings.C.Claire played with the two adult penguins for a long time.D.Claire led the young penguins to where the adult penguins stayed.27.What does the underlined word “endure”in the last paragraph mean?A.Promote.B. Break.C. Arrange.D. Experience.CPortia Kapraun has always seen unwelcome ads on Twitter, usually from major brands pitching (竭力推销) her expensive jewelry or vehicles that she, as a librarian in Indiana,could not afford. Ms. Kapraun was not interested. But she soon saw the ads again. And again. And again. “These feel like low-end ads,” she said. In a shaky advertising market in an uncertain economy, ads that few people want to see suddenly seem to be everywhere.Advancements in digital advertising technology were meant to improve users’ experience. People interested in shoes are intended to get ads for sneakers and boots, not repeated pitches promoting gold investments. And the technology is supposed to remove misleading or dangerous pitches. But lately, on several platforms, the opposite seems to be happening for a variety of reasons, including a slowdown in the overall digital ad market. As numerous deep-pocketed marketers have pulled back, and the softer market has led several digital platforms to lower their ad pricing, opportunities have opened up for less demanding advertisers.Advertising experts agree that poor-quality ads appear to be increasing greatly. They point to a variety of potential causes: internal troubles at technology companies, weak content moderation (审核), and high-level advertisers seeking other choices. Then, there’s the economy: A recent survey of 43 multinational companies representing more than $44 billion in advertising spending found that nearly 30 percent planned to cut back on their marketing spending last year.Other factors are also contributing to lower advertising quality. Social media advertising, once only practiced by specialists, is now easily available to anyone. Many of them are avoiding targeted ads—placements intended to reach specific audiences, usually at a higher cost—in favor of a cheaper spray-and-pray (广撒网式的) approach online, hoping to catch the attention of gullible (简洁受骗的) or bored shoppers. Major social media platforms are now like “a mall that used to be good”, Corey Richardson, vice president at a multicultural ad company, says. “But now there’s no longer a mall there—it’s justa calendar store and a place sling beepers (传呼机). ”28. What message does the a uthor want to deliver in Portia Kapraun’s story?A. Repeated ads have a strong power of persuasion.B. Social media users often encounter unwanted ads.C. Major brands usually prefer social media advertising.D. An uncertain economy leads to lower levels of consumption.29. What can be inferred about the “less demanding advertisers” mentioned in Paragraph 2?A. They are forced to exit the digital ad market.B. They have benefited from advertising experts.C. They can now advertise at a more affordable price.D. They work hard to improve their users’ experience.30. What is Corey Richardson’s attitude to major social media platforms?A. Favorable.B. HopefulC. Unclear.D. Negative.31. Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A. Where is social media advertising heading?B. What is shaking up the online advertising market?C. Why are you seeing so many bad digital ads now?D. How are targeted ads impacting your purchase decisions?DBoth Roberto and Keith have a 45-minute commute(通勤) time from their homes to their workplace. When Roberto drives, he has realistic expectations of how others drive and how long the trip should take. Overall, he is able to adapt to any unexpected challenges he may face on the road. He rarely becomes angry. By contrast, Keith drives with a tendency for becoming angry easily, partly due to unrealistic expectations of other drivers, his quickness to personalize and feel threatened by the actions of others, and his inability to calm his anger.The difference between how Roberto and Keith experience their drive to work, especially with regard to getting angry, is influenced very much by their emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence is crucial for helping individuals choose constructive over destructive anger. A key aspect of healthy anger is being able to pause and reflect on, rather than react to, our thoughts, feelings, and senses associated with getting angry.Self-regulation and empathy(同理心) are two important components of emotional intelligence, which can be a buffer(缓冲) against destructive anger. Self-regulation helps us to control our moods. Empathy helps us to recognize the humanity in others and ourselves.Studies suggest that training in emotional intelligence can powerfully impact how anger is managed. This was supported by a three-year study of 476 young adults who showed reduced tendency of becoming angry after training. Children and adults can learn skills to boost their emotional intelligence and, by doing so, develop adaptability for dealing with various negative affect, including anger. Many workbooks offer skills in emotional intelligence to promote empathy and self-awareness regarding emotions and how they impact our beliefs and behavior.Clearly, through training, Keith would experience greater emotional flexibility that could support a more peaceful commute to work. I firmly believe that learning skills in emotional intelligence should be the focus in helping individuals more constructively manage this highly challenging and complex emotion.32. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To tell a true story.B. To make a comparison.C. To introduce the main topic.D. To present an important finding.33. Which of the following is the main point of healthy anger?A. Thinking over the annoying situation.B. Taking action to deal with the awful situation.C. Turning a blind eye to the unwelcome situation.D. Expressing feelings about the disturbing situation.34. What is the author’s attitude towards tr aining in emotional intelligence?A. Tolerant.B. Doubtful.C. Negative.D. Supportive.35. What is the suitable title of the text?A. Friends Should Enjoy Peaceful CommuteB. Drivers Need to Boost Their Emotional IntelligenceC. Emotional Intelligence Is a Buffer Against Destructive AngerD. Emotional Intelligence Has a Powerful Impact on People's Life其次节（共 5 小题；每小题 2.5 分，满分 12.5 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
